To advertise Hester's sin, she is forced to wear a crimson 'A' on her bosom, and the cumulative, constant disapproval of the tightly-knit Puritan community makes life a daily torture. But worse torments beset the unnamed father, torn between love of Hester and his daughter, and a desire to maintain his position within the unforgiving Puritan society. Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel is at once a sombre, almost gothic romance, and a pungent critique of societies that seek to overly restrict human activity. The author mercilessly dissects human relationships, examining themes of shame, dread and mental anguish, in a book that has become an American Classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aziloth Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46870241837207,"sku":"9781907523557","price":946.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781907523557.webp?v=1769996276","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-scarlet-letter-aziloth-books-9781907523557","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
